Verse 1:

Am             D7                  G
Now that I've lost everything to you
            Cmaj7                  F
You say you want to start something new
             Dm                    E 
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
*Esus4
Baby I'm grieving
Am                     D7          G
But if you want to leave take good care
                Cmaj7              F
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
            Dm
But then a lot of nice things

Turn bad out there
